Dirty, Rotten Petz Thieves

[*~Cheetah~*]

I'd like to make an announcement that because of [e-mail] (whoever she is), I will no longer be doing buyable adoptions on Cheetah Kennelz. That's right. NO MORE FLYNXES. That's also her msn account e-mail, so you can add her or e-mail her and "thank" her yourself if you like, because she ruined it for all of you. I'd also like to post a WARNING.

If your petz are special to you, you won't make Petz Player files for them and put them on your site for others to play with. I discovered last night the hard way that it's possible to copy the pet's info from the .ply file right off your site, because "SOPHIE" stole my dog, Whisper and put her for download, so now everyone's probably got a copy of her. What a mean, rotten thing to do! I found this out by having this convo with her, in which I played both "Josie" and myself.

You're probably also wondering why I keep putting "Sophie" in quotes... It's because I suspect her to be somebody else... so great... I can't even trust my friends anymore.

awww....that is dreadful Cheetah, but thanks for the warning. I never knew people could do that and I loved your buyable petz. I am not sure which dog Whisper is, but that is a horrible thing to do.

Urgh, if I could I'd rip her damned balls off. People like that are better left forgotten. I'm really sorry about that Cheetah, I know you seriously havn't had it easy from thieves and hotlinkers. People like that have to have their heads stuck up their own arses, it's a shame. What they don't realise, is with their own greed they're destroying chances for everybody else. I hope she doesn't show her cyber face ever again, 'cause if she does I swear I'd get out of paw and maul her to bloody tatters. ¬_¬

At this rate we should just set up "the stealer thread" and post all **** about all these people in it

[*~Cheetah~*]

Yeah it certainly happens enough to warrant its own thread... >X.x<

[cheacothefox]

*snarls* That is just rotton! Why would anyone do that!?

[*~Cheetah~*]

Well according to the convo, "Cheetah is a mean cow who shows off her petz"

Although, everybody has a "my petz page", but I'm the only one who shows off lol... ok.

[maleek]

Cheetah I made you a gift Im going to email you it soon

[Stellalunatic]

-E-mails "Sophie" angry e-mail- "Die, you ******!!"

Yes, I once stole a graphic, but stealing people's Petz is low.. ;D I knew there was something fishy about that Petz Player Window..

[Arkie]

What, so she 'knew' that setting up a petz player window opened your petz to the world for download? I hope so, because otherwise...

If there's one thing -i- hate, it's an art theif.

[Stellalunatic]

I was just joking... I actually had no clue that could happen.
Sorry about your lovely pet, Cheetah..

[Leslie]

Do you know how she took Whisper out of the .ply file? Because I can't highlight one, and I can't copy my own if I try...

[liz]

can someone please create a .ply file for me and see if i can get the pet?

The earliest mention I found of this problem was a message dated March 1999. Not all ply petz were showing up on other computers. The theory was that only petz wearing clothes/accessories were copied to the visitor's computer. Another post, from Abby of the The Petz Warehouse indicated that this problem was discovered during Beta testing of Petz 3 and PFM warned people not to make ply files with petz wearing accessories.

It is possible to turn the ply file into a pet, but I am not going to post instructions. We have enough thieves out there as it is.
